The ruling on the Friday prayer for an elderly sick person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this episode with this question. He says: My father is old and cannot go to the Friday prayer. He says he is sick because of the fumes that come out of his mouth. Is that permissible, and may he pray at home?
Answer:
If he is weak and cannot walk, he should ride in a car, praise be to Allah, things are made easy, and he should pray the Friday prayer as much as he is able. But if he cannot, even if he rides in a car, then he prays the midday prayer at home. The Friday prayer is dropped from him in this case. Yes.
